Jayden Reed fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2025). Should you start or sit Jayden Reed for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was entering Week 1 with a quarterback tag as he is battling a Jones fracture. However, the wideout was able to suit up and performed quite well. In their victory against the Lions, Reed caught three of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown.
His five targets were the most among Green Bay pass catchers, and his yardage only trailed Romeo Doubs (68).
Even though Reed had his snap count limit, he was productive in the opportunities he was given. During the week, Reed has seen his workload capped during practice as well, suggesting the team will not tune in closely to monitor his snap count as he recovers from the fracture.
Even though his ceiling may not be as high when he is at full strength, he is still able to earn targets. He carries a WR3 value in a potentially high-scoring affair against the Washington Commanders. When on the field, quarterback Jordan Love tends to lean on Reed in the slot.
He should be given a similar workload in this game, but he will still carry upside given his big-play ability and should be viewed as a WR3 in all 12-team leagues. However, he does possess some risk given his limited snap share.
